“My Content” in the KnightVision content system is going away soon
Tuesday, October 12, 2010
As part of the move from KnightVision to Moodle, content stored in “My Content” on the Content tab in KnightVision is going away effective Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2011. If you have files stored in “My Content” please move them to another location. We suggest your H:\ drive (home drive) which is secure, backed up regularly, and available to all students, faculty and staff.
Please note: This does not include the Organization Content, Course Content, Calvin Content or Portfolio areas of the content system. This only applies to the My Content area, as we are still looking at solutions for files stored in these other areas. We will communicate the date these areas will become unavailable when we’ve determined a new location for this content.
